Kanazawa Race 7 - Race 7 - 1400
ISAMU SANKA (4) Back from a break. Average performance when 11th last time around here but ideal trip as proven previously. Back in trip. Will give a big sight. GOLD BRAVO (3) Tidy effort when 3rd last start at the track. Has early speed and positions nicely. In the mix. MEINER CISNEROS (5) Below par when 6th last time here. Definite claims. ORA VERITAS (1) Secured a close victory last run at this track and drawn the rails. Likely to be well placed early. Can win.

Comes in second-up after a determined win at this track, making up plenty of ground to beat Gold Bravo by a head while near the top of an open market. He also won his start prior from Never Let You Go and has an excellent track-and-distance record, with four wins and two placings from seven attempts. With Taiga Kurihara back on and the recent form clearly strongest, he is the runner they have to beat.

Worked only fairly when fifth over 1700m at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths by Chomechome after going around at generous odds. His previous sixth behind Mani Hero was closer, and the return to 1400m is supported by three wins and five placings at around the trip. He profiles as a fitter place hope rather than a clear winning threat.

Has held her form well without winning, finishing third at this track last start when she was handy but never threatened Worlds Collide. Two back she pushed Ora Veritas to a head, which reads as the key form reference, and her six wins with nine placings from 24 at this track and distance give her a strong base. With Masayoshi Aoyagi aboard again, she remains a serious winning danger.

Returns from a six-month break after ending last campaign with a well-held second last at this track, dropping out behind Fine Topaz without offering much late. His run prior was better when second to Aoi Mimosa, though beaten six lengths. The overall record is strong and he handles this trip, but first-up off that latest effort he has to produce a much sharper return.

Kept working without ever looking a winning hope when sixth in a B1 at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths by El Aurens. The run prior was another midfield finish at long odds, so the current form is only fair despite a strong overall record. Class relief helps and he has placed in all four tries at this track and distance, but others bring sharper recent claims.

Was safely held in a B1 over 1900m at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. She had worked home with some purpose behind Ora Veritas two back, but was still beaten just over seven lengths at big odds. Unplaced in three at this track and distance, she must find far more to trouble these.

Did not finish off over 1900m in a B1 at this track last start, ending up sixth and beaten six and a half lengths at long odds. His previous fourth behind Ora Veritas was respectable enough, albeit still six lengths away, and he has enough 1400m background to be competitive for a minor placing. The win case is limited, but the setup gives him some place appeal.

Gets a kinder setup after two plain B1 runs, the latest a second-last at this track when beaten six lengths by El Aurens after failing to close off. His previous fifth behind Muscle Back was fair to the line rather than threatening, but the class drop and weight relief are meaningful, and he has four wins at this distance. If the setup sparks a rebound, he has the profile to run a much better race.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fourth in a B3 at Ohi, beaten just over two lengths by Kitano Raijin when in touch before working home only fairly. He had also run fourth at Ohi at big odds the start prior, so the form is honest. A small distance query is tempered by a win and a placing from three at this track and distance, making him a sound place hope.

Finished last at this track last start, beaten over 13 lengths by Worlds Collide at big odds, and his previous seventh behind Ora Veritas was another safely held effort. The broader distance record is strong over a long career, but he is unplaced in five attempts at this track and distance. On current form, he would have to turn things around significantly.
